Additional revisions, or additions, may be <br /> required by other departments (such as Utilities, Planning or Fire). All references refer to the <br /> 2006 International Building Code, as amended by the State of Washington and adopted by the <br /> City of Everctt and the Washington State Gnergy Code, 2006 �dition, unlcss stated otherwise. <br /> I . In order for tl�e processing of y�our application to continue, it wiil be necessary to provide . <br /> the Building Division with two completc new sets of drnwings reflecting the corrections <br /> requested. <br /> 1. The plans should include tlre requirement for a fire suppression system in accordance <br /> witl� the Everett Building Code. <br /> 2. The plans should include the rcquircment for a firc detection system in accordance with <br /> the Gverett Building Codc. <br /> 3. 7'he suUmitted site plan indicates 5'-0" from the right and left sides of the building to <br /> tl�e property lines. The submitted elevations indicate a ratio of openings (induding the <br /> opening into tlre garage) ro wall arca of about 14%. IBC Table 704.7 does not permit <br /> openings when the building is from three to five feet to the property line unless they <br /> arc protcctcd. If tl�e building were to be greater than five feet to ten feet from the <br /> property line, tl�e table would allow 10% unprotected openings, 25% protected <br /> openings or a combination of the two. IBC Section 704.8.1 allows for the use of an <br /> automatic sprinkler system in accordance with IBC 903.3.1.1 to consider any opening <br /> as protected. An IBC 903.1.1 system is die samc as an NFPA 13 (NOT 13R) system. <br /> What all of this means is tUat in order to keep all of the proposed unprotected <br /> openings, the building would need to be dimensionally altered to be more than five feet <br /> Gom U�e property lines and the building would need to be cquipped with an NFPA 13 <br /> {NOT NPPA 13R) sprinklcr systcm. <br /> � <br /> CIN OF EVERETT•3200 Cedar Street• Everett, WA 98201 • (425)257-8800 • Fax(425)257-8856 � �,� <br /> ucoirirc�.��sra.wi.t.ra�no�mau wa����rruoae nvc�n.s a c <br />
